Release trigger

6pt-Sika · 12-16-2014, 11:42 AM

I feel for the people that need to shoot a release trigger be it trap or skeet !

A friend had a Perazzi TM1 a few years back with a release and I tried shooting it !

And as you can imagine it was a "Charlie Foxtrot". -Edited

Think I shot 6-12 feet over the bird when I "released" the trigger . That was one of the most unnatural feeling things I had ever done with a gun !

Craig, if you take out the release parts, can I have them?

Craig, why not let Chuck buy the gun? He is flush with cash since selling his great DHE 12 gauge at the Julia auction.

Bill, that's funny right there! I already have a SBT but it sure would be nice to be able to shoot it with a release left handed. I've shot trap with a release for 30+ years left handed. Switching back to right handed pull is not something that is easy to do once your used to a release. If I shoot trap right handed pull, I flinch 90% of the time. I wish my bank account is as big as you think it is

Mike, the answer is NO. Maybe Murphy or McCormack may know if Miller ever made a release.

It would be interesting to actually inspect the release parts to see if they have the S/N on them or any name.

I don't know if Miller made a release trigger. You might ask the people at the Miller Single Trigger Company.

You have my sympathy ! I tried shooting a friends Perazzi TM1 20+ years ago with a release trigger ! I think when I uh released the thing I shot 6-12 feet over the bird .

For one that flinches, be it every shot or once or twice a round it is VERY frustrating, it took me maybe 3 rounds to get used to it, and maybe another 2-3 rounds when I went from release /pull, to release /release for dubs. feels so natural now...every once in a while I'll pull out my Citori XT, with Pull triggers, yup the flinch is still hiding in there....
